You only saw red after I said, "How can we continue?"
Hidden from your view in the blue corner that I painted myself into
Then we started to fight and it changed everything
Here's the ring
You dropped the band, I can't understand it
Not after all we've been through
Words start to fly, my glass jaw and I will find one to walk right into
You knocked me out, it was the sweetest punch
The bell goes
I can hear it ringing, but I didn't see it coming
We all say things we don't mean, you can't take it back
Now the room is spinning, but was I the last to notice?
I can see I'll never win, so if you're going
Then you better go to him, then you better go to him
I only saw stars, I dropped my guard, and that's how it ended
What was I to do in the blue corner where I seemed to hang suspended?
Then with seconds to go you delivered the blow
Here I go
You dropped the band, I can't understand it
Not after all we've been through
Words start to fly, my glass jaw and I will find one to walk right into
You knocked me out, it was the sweetest punch
The bell goes
I can hear it ringing, but I didn't see it coming
We all say things we don't mean, you can't take it back
Now the room is spinning but was I the last to notice?
I can see I'll never win, so if you're going
Then you better go to him, then you better go to him
